    Aronofsky May Helm Human Nature With GClooney - A.k.a. Darren’s unofficial Planet of the Apes remake.

    Meanwhile, In Trailerville…

    • Horrible Bosses - The second feature from the director of King of Kong, but not a documentary. Also, could go either way.
    • Real Steel - The second trailer for this big-f’n-robots -vs- big-f’n-robots flick, based on a short story published in 1956, makes the film look less like a fun time and more like a “I hate child acting” special effects bore-fest. Le sigh.
    • Big Ass - A trailer starring Will Smith.
